The 3-Legged Thing Legends Bucky Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit with AirHed Vu and 3 Detachable Legs is ideal for photographers who need greater versatility in a travel tripod that extends to great heights and gets down to ground level.
Here to Win
Bucky is the seventh iteration of the unique and iconic 5-leg section 3-column section tripod configuration. The most versatile and functional travel tripod on the planet.
Rallying
Bucky is a tribute to the unconventional cornerstone of 3LT's tripod design. With 5 section legs and a triple-section removable column, Bucky has one of the largest dynamic working ranges of any tripod.
Vert
With a maximum height of 74.80 inches and the ability to get as low as 4.56 inches, Bucky is truly a Vert specialist.
Record Breaker
Imagine a tripod that is so modular it has completely removable columns and legs then imagine multiple mounts, a new tri-mount design, and leg locks designed to be useable with thick gloves, or impaired mobility. Then stop imagining, and look.
Built for Travel
At just 16.14-inch folded, and weighing just 4.12 lb, Bucky is a travel companion, that's built for professionals.
Versatile and Modular
With 3 detachable legs, removable and reversible columns, and multiple mounting points, Bucky is a new breed of the tripod.
Max Load to Weight Ratio of 20:1
Bucky can support weights 20 times his weight making him a powerful tool for photographers of all levels. A load capability of 30 kg is staggering, for a tripod this versatile.
Rapid Latch
The new Rapid-Latch angle adjustment was designed to be easy to adjust, even for those with impairments, or wearing thick gloves.
O-Pads
The new O-Pads provide better grip, torque, and water dispersement than any other leg lock on the planet.
